"A trailblazing innovator in the history of comics, Harvey Pekar revolutionized comics with his brand of autobiographical, slice of life story. Join Pekar for an intimate conversation of his work, from the early days of American Splendor, collaborating with icons like R. Crumb and Frank Stack, up through becoming an icon himself with the film version of his opus." - from the SPX program booklet. Interviewed by Mike Rhode at the Small Press Expo.

"VISUALIZING AMERICAN SPLENDOR - Harvey Pekar's American Splendor is a seminal series in comics history. Bridging the underground comix era and the contemporary graphic novel, while pioneering the autobiographical comics form, and branching off into media, American Splendor enjoys a unique place in both the culture of comics, and the literary world at large. Along the way Pekar has worked with a tremendous body of artists to bring his life stories to light. This panel gathers Pekar and...

"As Charlie B. said, "Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter like unrequited love." The sticky problems of our comic couples provide a pop mirror for our changing ideas about relationships. And perhaps we can learn from them. After all, their newsprint loves go on long after the loves of many readers have yellowed." New York Magazine, ca 1971?

Superhang-ups for a superhero, but Superman is not the only hero hanging his cape outside Dr. Feelgood's door. Today almost all comic book characters have problems. As in many fields, the word is relevance. The trend may have begun a decade ago, but in the socially aware '70s it has reached full blossom. The comics' caped crusaders have become as outraged about racial injustice as the congressional Black Caucus and as worried about pollution as the Sierra Club. Excerpt from Time 19711213 P....

During the Depression and the War, society broke up and the comics reflected violent struggles for supremacy between hostile individuals or special-interest groups, like criminals or Japanese. In recent years, with all coherence gone from the body politic, the buried fantasies of comic artists' brainstems have welled up into a kaleidoscope of personal visions. And all of this is shown in the following eight pages of selections from the vast collection of connoisseur Woody Gelman. For further...

Cartoonist Darwyn Cooke spoke at the American Art Museum about his adaptation of The Hunter , Donald “Richard Stark” Westlake ’s first book in the “Parker ” series.

The Hunter is an 140-page, two-color adaptation set in 1962 and beautifully rendered in Cooke’s retro style. Most of Cooke’s comic...

The Great Cartoonists Of The Century by Richard Marschall, David Folkman, Liberty Magazine (Winter 1973): 17-50 Many people don't take cartoons seriously, but we do. We see lurking behind those seemingly frivolous pen lines some of the heaviest observations of our age. We see a unique kind of art. A cartoonist must not only know how to draw, and draw well, he must know what's going on so thoroughly that he can distill it in a simple form that the reader can understand instantly. The trick is to...
